Summary

We offered to redistribute Indeed's FOSS Contributor Fund award, which would have funded Sentry engineers' projects, instead of keeping it for ourselves. We decided to de-prioritize larger organizations and focus on underfunded projects that we've relied on over the years. The funds were allocated to five projects: Black, a code formatter; Gimli, a library for crash reports; PyPI, Python's public package repository; Pytest, a popular testing library; and Structlog, an alternative logging module. This initiative has inspired us to put more money behind open source funding this year, with a budget of $100,000.
